Introduction

Your Entel radio is supplied with a high performance

Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery. These batteries:

• Extend talk time

• Reduce the battery’s size and weight

• Do not suffer from ‘memory effect’ that

reduces the life of Ni-Cad and NiMH batteries

• Have a low toxicity, therefore reducing the

impact on the environment

Battery Pack Precautions

• Switch the transceiver OFF before charging

• Charge the battery pack before use

• Do not recharge the battery pack if it is already

fully charged

• Charge the battery in accordance with the

instructions enclosed with your charger.

• Do not charge the transceiver and/or battery

pack if they are wet

• Do not charge the battery pack in a hazadous

area

The battery pack includes potentially hazardous

components. Please:

• Do Not disassemble or reconstruct battery

• Do Not short-circuit the battery

• Do Not incinerate or apply heat to the battery

• Do Not immerse the battery in water unless

attached securely to the radio or get it wet by

other means

• Use only the specified charger and observe

charging requirements

• Do Not pierce the battery with any object or

strike it with an instrument

• Do Not use the battery pack if it is damaged

in any way

• Do Not reverse-charge or reverse-connect

the battery

• Do Not touch a ruptured or leaking battery

If liquids from the battery get into your eyes,

immediately:

• Wash your eyes out with fresh water and

avoiding rubbing them.

• Seek medical treatment

Battery Care / Information

Battery Pack

• If a battery is not to be used for an extended

period of time (e.g. several months) remove

the battery pack from the equipment and store

in a cool and dry location (around 0°C) part

charged

Do not fully discharge the battery before

storage

• Each charge cycle reduces the battery’s life.

Minimise the number of times you charge your

battery especially in hotter environments which

further shortens a battery’s life

Battery Charging

1. Connect the AC adapter to the charger pod.

The LED status light will illuminate green

indicating ready for charge

2. Turn the transceiver off

3. Insert the battery pack into the charger pod,

either with or without the transceiver attached.

The LED status light changes from green to red

and trickle charge begins

4. A fully discharged battery pack will take

approximately 6 hours to charge, depending on

the remaining power condition. When charge is

complete, the LED status light turns green.

The battery pack has an over-current protection

circuit fitted. When charging a completely

discharged battery i.e. first charge, ensure the

battery is removed from the radio and then

re-attach (if fitted to radio when charging). This will

reset the protection circuitry and ensure

normal operation. This process will need to be

repeated if the battery is allowed to completely

discharge in the future. In normal use this is unlikely.
